The other driver, Blaze Franklin, 26, was booked into a Maricopa County Jail on suspicion of aggravated assault related to driving while impaired, according to Sgt. Jonathan Howard, Phoenix police spokesman. Franklin also was booked for warrants related to a prior DUI incident, Howard said.

Shortly before midnight Feb. 6, a car driven by Franklin was traveling east on Thomas Road when the vehicle attempted to turn left onto 57th Avenue in front of a taxi, police said. The two vehicles collided, causing the taxi to overturn.

The taxi driver, Santiago Maya, 42, died of his injuries Saturday, police said.

Investigators were working with the Maricopa County Attorney's Office to have the aggravated assault charges modified because of Maya's death.

A passenger in the taxi and Franklin were hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries, police said. Franklin was released from the hospital Feb. 8 and was booked into custody, Howard said.

Howard said alcohol was detected in Franklin’s system. Additional toxicology results will take more time, he said.
